Raw Food Recipe: Cinnamon Raisin “Toast”
When the sun doesn’t come up until late, and I wake to a house that has a winter chill, my green drink is not enough to satisfy me. I have been working on a raw food recipe for a breakfast “toast” and finally came up with one I love.
This one is made with sunflower seeds, almonds, carrots, apples and is spiked with cinnamon and raisins! My recreation of Cinnamon Raisin Toast. Healthy, hearty and tasty, you will want to be sure to include this in your raw food recipe collection. The hazelnut butter is made the same way as the almond butter. I added 2 T of oil when processing.
Cinnamon Raisin "Toast" and Hazelnut Butter
Cinnamon Raisin “Toast”
- 2 cups Almonds
- 1 cup Sunflower Seeds
- 1 cup Ground Flax
- 1 cup Purred Zucchini
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Apple
- 1 cup Raisins
- 4 Dates plus 1/2 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Place sunflower seeds in food processor and process until finely chopped. Place in Bowl.
- Place almonds in food processor and finely chop. Place in bowl with sunflower seeds.
- Add flax and stir to combine.
- Process carrots and apple in food processor until you get a puree. Add zucchini puree, mix.
- In blender, blend dates with 1/2 cup water until liquefied. You can soak the dates first to soften. Add to carrot and apple mixture, stir.
- Stir wet ingredients into dry. Mix well. Stir in cinnamon and raisins.
- Spread 1/4″ thick on non-stick dehydrator tray. Dehydrate for 1 hour at 145, reduce heat and continue to dehydrate at 116 for two more hours. Flip mixture onto screen, peel off non-stick sheet and continue to dehydrate for about 4-6 more hours or until dry but not hard. This bread will should be a little soft.
Hazelnut Butter
- 2 cups Hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Process in food processor. Please see Almond Butter Recipe for great pictures and instructions for nut butters.

I was just about ready to make this recipe and then I read the instructions… I don’t have a dehydrator, can this be done in the oven on a low temp? If so would you be able to tell me the temps?
thanks

Since this is a raw food site, the recipes are prepared raw. I do not test them in ovens. You are welcome to experiment but I can’t guarantee results. Cheers!

What a fab site you have here. And all your rawmazing recipes. I’ve only turned raw in the past four months, and after many false moves and crazy mistakes, am feeling more confident. I love it!
Now my daughters in their forties know their mother in her late sixties is truly wonderful!
Seriously its such fun, and yes so healthy, and your site adds a new dimension, and can’t wait to get ingredients together to make some of your scrummy sounding dishes.
Many thanks.

Gave this recipe a try–and it is perfection! Filling without feeling heavy or greasy. Like many of the commentors, I’ve been topping it with apple slices and a drizzle of honey.

I made these recently and DIED over it! Not only was it pleasant because it made my kitchen smell like apple pie, but because it tastes soooooo good! I had it with almond butter and chopped strawberries with agave on top and I ate it so fast I have to make more soon!
